Kindle Notes & Highlights
Tonight was the first time a little light shone into my life… all because of Hailey.
In no universe can the moon and sun be together. They’re forever destined to be lightyears apart, with empty darkness filling the space between them.
For a moment in time, the sun shone on me. It was peaceful, the brilliance of the rays warming the frozen landscape of my life. When my time comes, she’ll be my last thought. Until then, I have to forget she ever existed.
“Why didn’t you just walk me home like a normal guy?” “Because I’m not normal.” Oh, my introvert. “That’s one of the reasons I fell for you.”
It will kill me. I can’t live without Hailey. I can’t go back to the absolute darkness. I need whatever light she has left.
“I love you,” he whispers near my ear. “More than anything. I’ll never harm you, and I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt you.”
Five minutes later, my phone vibrates. Alexei: Contract accepted. Fee: A lifetime supply of vodka. I let out a chuckle and type my reply.
The corner of my mouth lifts, and I place my hand on her cheek. “As long as I get to see you smile every day, we can take it slow.” Hailey’s face lights up with happiness, and I just stare at her as her light chases the darkness. The moon only shines at night because of the sun. Hailey’s my sun.
The main guy groans as he begins to climb to his feet. Letting out a squeal as if I’m about to step on a bug, I dart forward and kick him in the crotch. “Please stay down, you idiot.” When I look up, Carson’s looking at me with an incredulous expression on his face, then he says, “That was fucking cute.”
“You’re mine,” I growl. “You’ll never leave again.” “I won’t,” she whimpers. “Please.” I press my forehead to hers. “Come, baby.” My teeth tug at her lips. “Come for me.”
Carson leans over until his mouth brushes against my ear, and then he whispers, “Ya lyublyu tebya.” Just like the first time he said, ‘I love you’ in Russian, goosebumps spread over my skin.
the sun who fell in love with the moon and gave him some of her light. Without her, there’s only darkness.”
